The Economist: Economics: An A-Z Guide by Matthew Bishop
Economics is the 'study of how society uses its scarce resources' or, more snappily, 'the science of choices' that helps people make decisions about how to use such scarce things as land, labour, raw materials, capital, entrepreneurial spirit and time. This is a guide to the essentials of economics, with entries that stretch from A to Z.
There couldn't be a better time for these business guides from The Economist - They're a handy guide, with some dry humour and stern disapproval thrown it to stop things getting too dull - These are interesting and excellent reference guides to those interested in the markets, or who own sharesAnybody who thinks they have nothing to learn from these is asking for trouble, or raised eyebrows at the very leastA" - Jeremy Hazlehurst, City AM.
Matthew Bishop is The Economist's New York Bureau Chief and is co-author of Philanthrocapiltalism: How the Rich Can Save the World, a hugely successful book on business philanthropy.
